Kreidler Vitality Eco 10 Cross

The Kreidler Vitality Eco 10 Cross from 2024 is a high-quality e-bike that is available for a price of EUR 5799. It is characterised by a robust aluminium frame (6061), which fully integrates the Bosch BES3 motor and supports a permissible total weight of 140 kg. The bike itself weighs 27 kg and offers a balanced combination of performance and comfort.

The braking system consists of Shimano Deore components, with BL-M6100 brake levers and BR-M6120 4-piston disc brakes on the front and rear wheels, both with a diameter of 203 mm. Shifting is provided by the Shimano Deore XT RD-M8130 Linkglide system, which offers an 11-speed gear ratio and is controlled by the XT SL-M8130 Linkglide shift lever. The drivetrain is complemented by a Shimano CN-LG500 chain, while the cassette comprises Shimano Deore XT CS-LG700 with a range of 11 to 50 teeth.

The suspension is supported by a Suntour Mobie34 fork with 100 mm travel and lockout function. Comfort is further enhanced by the Limotec A3 seatpost with 40 mm travel, which can be lowered from the handlebars using a remote function. The Selle Royal Essenza saddle ensures a comfortable riding position.

For lighting, the bike is equipped with a Busch & Müller Lumotec IQ-XS Highbeam front light, which provides between 150 and 100 LUX and has a high beam and parking light function. The Trelock LS 654 rear light offers a brake light function and also a parking light.

The wheels consist of Schürmann YAK 25 Disc aluminium hollow chamber rims with 36 spokes, combined with Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres (57-584) for optimum grip and stability. The hubs are Shimano HB-TC500 at the front and Shimano Alivio FH-TC500 at the rear, both with centre lock and 36 holes.

Further equipment features include Promax HB-3188 handlebars with Ergon GP1 grips, an HL TDS-C269 angle-adjustable stem, as well as mudguards from SKS and a Pletscher Comp Flex rear kickstand. The Kreidler Basic Tour 2.0 pannier rack is strutless and compatible with the Racktime Snap-It 2.0 system.

The e-bike is powered by a Bosch Performance Line CX mid-motor with 250 watts of power, which is fed by a fully integrated Bosch frame battery with a capacity of 750 Wh. The Kiox 300 display also offers clear control of the electronic components. Overall, the Vitality Eco 10 Cross is a well thought-out combination of technology and design that is suitable for both everyday use and longer tours.
